Local Supply Is Not Equal to
All Demands.
PRICE ADVANCES TODAY
Seattle Draws Heavily on I'ortlaud
Stocks to .Fill Alaska Orders.
High I'rlces Are Expected
"ext Winter.
There will be an advance of 1 cent a
pound In city creamery butter today, the
new quotation being 2 cents. Since the
last advance of a cent, contrary to the
expectations of some, the market -has ruled
very firm. The demand from Seattle has
not only cleaned up th-a local surplus, but
lias also drawn heavily on the supply needed
here, and since the Xorthern market ad
vanced to 31 cents, the demand has been
even, stronger.
The Puget Sound Inquiry Is due to the
grilling of orders for Alaska shipment by
Seattle dealers. With an insufficient sup
ply of Washington butter and but litle
Kastern. butter available, they have had to
come to this market for their supply. The
Alaska shipments will be over by Juih 1
and the Seattle demand will then relax,
but it is a Question whether prices here
will recede.
This is tho flush season for butter produc
tion, yet the total output of the Western
Oregon creameries is said by competent
authorities to be less than it was last
year, owing to a reduction of dairy herds.
At the eam3 time, both the local and the
shipping demand are greater than a year
ago. Very little butter has been put into
storage this season and the prospects are
good for high prices during the Fall and
Winter.
The indications also point to a high level
of egg values next Fall. A leading Eastern
authority writes to a local dealer as fol
lows: m
"We see by the reports of the Associated
Warehouses that on the 1st. of. May there
was 1,116,000 cases of eggs lit storage as
against 693,000 cases a year ago, 996,000
.May 1, 190S and 1.266,000 May 1, 19(7.
"Our heavy production here a year ago
was the 1st of May. The heavy production
this year was the last week in March. Our
production now is 60 per cent of what it
was the first week in March and it looks
now Irke an early- closing of the egg pro
ducing season."

PENDLETON". Or.. May 20. (Special.)
With the Pendleton wool alps date. Oregon's
first uf the season, less than a week away,
there la much uncertainty manifested in this
city as lo the prices to be asked or demanded.
fcj far there -has not been a pound of wool
sold in this vicinity and If any- offers have
been made by the buyers, they have not been
reported. The buyers insist that the market
is weak and uncertain, while there is a feeling
on the part of the growers that the buyers
have combined to keep down prices. Some of
the leading sheepmen declare that there Is
nothing in the foreign market condition? to
justify the present condition of the American
market, which they say has been, brought
about by manipulation.
With the conditions as they are. it is not
believed, that the bids for the wool to be offered-
next Tuesday will be high enough to
tempt any grower to let go his holdings. Large
blocks of stock in the Chicago storage ware
house are held by local growers and it seems
that much of Umatilla County's clip will be
hold and shipped to Chicago to be stored until
there is a more favorable opening.
By this time last year a large part of the
wool produced here had passed from the hands
of the growers.
The qualty of this year's clip is said! to bs
exceptionally good, being free from dirt as
well as of long fleece and good staple. The
absence of dirt Is attributed to the fact that
There has not been a single real dust storm in
Eastern Oregon this Spring, whereas there are
usually a large number of them before shar
ing time.
APW.K PROSPECTS OF THE COl'STRI
Damage by Cold Weather JJot as Great as
First Reported.
Apple crop prospects of the country are sum
marized as follows by an Eastern horticultural
paper:
Very little damage 'has been done by the
cold weather in the New England States. The
early varieties were hurt some, but the late
were not in bloom at the time of the cold
weather and prospects are excellent.
In New York State, Pennsylvania. New Jer
sey and Delawara practically no damage has
been done. .
The early reports of -the damage done In
Ohio and Michigan, were greatly overestimated
and enongh bloom has been left to insure a
good cr.
In the Ben Davis group of slates In the
Middle Went very serious damage was done
by tie cold and stormy weather the latter
part of April. Lator i-eports, however, have
been a bit more encouraging and a partial
crop is promised.
Considerable damage was done by cold in
Colora-Jo and Idaho, but Oregon and Washing
ton give promise of the largest crops in their
history.
Conditions in California have been and are
favorable to a good crop.
As to Canada, the trees aro not yet in
bloom, but the buds are well set and pros
pects are excellent.
SOME IXQllRV FOB BLIESTEM.
Otherwise the Demand for Grain Is Very
Small.
A little demand for bluestem was reported
yesterday, but other varieties of wheat were
very dull. Trade In oats and barley was also
quiet. Barley dealers said they found it im
possible to make sales at $22. The tendency
of the oats market was also weak. A Seattle
message reported that holders on the flats
were beginning to sell their oats.
Weekly foreign Wheat shipments were re
ported by the Merchants Exchange as follows:

STRAW BERRV SI PPLY 18 LARGER
But Not Yet Vp to Requirements Plums
From California.
The strawberry supply yesterday was larger
than Thursday, but was not equal to the re
quirements of the local trade, and the mar
ket, therefore, ruled very firm. The best Ore
gon sold at' $3 to $3.50 per crate, with the
bulk of sales . at $2.50 to $2.75. The last
car of Florin berries of the season will arrive
this morning.
Among the novelties in the fruit line was
the first shipment of California plums, which
were quoted at $2.50 per box. Like the first
apricots received, they ere green, and hard.
Four cars of bananas arrived- during the
day, in fine condition. The market was well
stocked with vegetables, especially peas.
Poultry Prices Are Steady.
There was a moderate stock of poultry on
the street, and the demand was good enough
to absorb all the offerings at unchanged
prices.
Veal was not very plentiful and was quot-
cd firm. Pork was steady, but thero was
little call for lambs.

Stock Exchange's Tribute to

TONE OF MARKET STRONG
Rumor That ITlllterT States Sleel Will

Revived Banks Gainv
In Cash.
NEW YORK. May 20. As a tribute of
respect to the memory of King Edward of
England, and during the funeral services
of that monarch, the stock exchange did not
begin operations today until noon.
The estimates of the week's currency
movement Indicate that larse shinments
have been coming to New York from other
points and the sub-treasurv. also bv reason
of tho monthly pension payments, has made
large contrioutions of cash to the banks.
The gain in that item promises to reach as
much as $12,000,000. The easier tendency
tor money rates, both for call aod time
oans, is explained bv this develonment. The
banks manifest but little dlsrjosftion to rjur-
chasc mercantile paper, the rates on prime
graues ranging rrom 4 to 5 per cent.
One incident of the day was a revival of
rmors that United States Steel would be
isted on the Paris bourse. The exnected
ncrease In the dividend rate on. Cbesaoeake
& Ohio was greeted by a fractional decline
n tne rlce of that stock. The speculative
operations in Reading and In Canadian Pa
cific were continued in a desultory fashion.
tenner tnese or other operations were suf
ficient to give animation to the market.
The tone of the closing was strong, with
considerable show of activity.

TEXAS CROP IS POOR

Scurrying of Shorts to Cover in the

was startled today by Information that tflfT
crop expert of a leading firm here, under
date of Ringgold, Tex., sent word that from
there to Wichita Falls the conditions were
hopeless for wheat, and that tne nopes her
alded about the supplies to come from tho
big state, the first of all to harvest, would
not be fulfilled. The result was a scurrying
of shorts to cover. The decline in May
wheat was attributed to the chartering of
560,000 bushels of lake freight room -for
wheat to come to Chicago from Duluth in
addition to a cargo from there to arrive
hero tomorrow. The September option sold
between $1.1.00 and $1.00 and closed
steady at $1.00 1.00.
Corn weakened on weather reports, and
sales of cash corn, particularly white, from
this state and because of absence of ship
ping demand. As in wheat, shorts covered
late in the day, but with a less degree of
anxiety. September ranged from 61 c to
62c and closed 3c off at 6161c.
Weather conditions were said to be the
best imaginable for oats. A late rally was
due to the influence of wheat. September
.kept between 38 c and 38 c, closing steady
at 3838c.
The provision pit was lifeless all day.
Prices finished unchanged to 7c lower.

TRADE BETTER
Demand for Finished Products
Is Broadening.
DUE TO REDUCED PRICES
Evidence of a World-Wide Movement
for the Readjustment of Commod
ity Values General Business
Active in the 'West.
i
NEW YORK, May 20. R. G. Dunn & Co.'a
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
The trade movement, taking the country
as a whole, continues large. That there is
In all markets, and particularly In the se
curity market', much disappointment that
the extravagant expectations at . the be
ginning of the year are not being fulfilled
is beyond Question, and this feeling results
in a very conservative attitude by both
traders and consumers.
There Is a feeling among some that con
ditions inseparable from a period of world
wide economic transition may be forcing
some important readjustments and the dis
position Is to watt for developments.
Sentiment in iron and steel Is optimistic,
as.a result of broader demand for finished
products, accompanied by Increased inter
est in pig iron. While Improvement In the
latter division Is by no means marked, con
sumers show greater willingness to cover
their requirements. Inquiry being stimulated
by the low prioes quoted. Most producers
refuse to " make further concessions. New
business has come forward most freely In
the East. Conditions appear more favorable
in finished steel lines, now that the rail
roads and ' agricultural interests have re
sumed active buying of equipment.- -
The small measure of lprovement in the
demand for cotton goods and yarns is main
tained and some small advances are being
paid, but prices are still so unsatisfactory
that curtailment of production is increas
ing in clothing and yarn. Export (business
to the Far East is dull, but the movement
to Australia and Manila has been fair.
PACIFIC COAST TRADE IS GOOD.
In Other Sections General Business la in
Waiting Stage.
NEW YORK. May 20. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say;
Trade reports, except in the Northwest
and on the North Pacific Coast, show Utile
gain in activity, and indeed, in some lines,
such as textile manufacturing, further cur
tailment Is under discussion. It Is probably
true, however, that evidences of crop and
weather improvement came too late in the
week to be equally reflected in the week's
report. In large industrial centers, par
ticularly of the East, improvement is not
manifest, whereas the quieter tone of many
lines or the evidence of further curtail
ment of operations points to other causes
than backward weather having been oper
ative in holding back demand.
I .. . ttn.a . . l...1.lr,. 1, im triia SfA
still active, prominent in these being the
building trades and the hardware and other
kindred lines, 'mere is sun eviaence, now
ever. that anticipations as to the Spring
trade were' keyed too high.
Summed up, trade, as well as speculation,
seemed to be In a waiting stage. Pend
ing a clearer view of the x ultimate crop
situation, the disposition is to postpone
future committments.
Sentiment in iron and steel has Improved,
particularly In finished Unas, which feel
the Impulse of better buying of railway
cars and motive power and further heavy
contracts for steel bars from Westerfi agri
cultural implement makers.

Tr.K OATS MARKET.
Strawberries Do Not Clean Up.
Oversuppiy of Cabbage Eggs
Are Steady.
SEATTLE, May 20. (Special.) Hay
prices have stiffened up here, particularly
tho last few days. Tho best ttmotny was
quoted- today at $28. Considerable Oregon
and California hay is offered, but is not in
favor with buyers here. There is consider
able pressure in the oats market, Riving- rise
to the supposition that at least on-3 and pos
sibly two largo holtlers are endeavoring; to
unload part of their holdings, which are
known to be heavy.
Wheat was quiet. The State Grain In
spector, after a trip through the grain belt,
estimates the new Washington crop at 36,
000,000 bushels, with no increase in acreage.
Berries did not clean up today. If the
weather, holds good tomorrow. however,
dealers expect everything will' be disposed
of early. A car of Florin berries arrived
this afternoon and is said to be the last
straight carload of California to arrive this
season. ' - .
Five carloads of cabbage came in today.
The market is overstocked. Celery has prac
tically disappeared from the market. Ba
nanas are in better condition and moving
Wetter.
Notwithstanding the brisk demand for
veal, country shippers appear to fear fur
ther reductions, for they are swamping the
market. The 12-cent price prevailed in most
quarters, although some fancy stock brought
premiums. Iealers do not look for veal to
go much below 12 cents. Eggs were steady
and unchanged.
